Trump helped turn the Strait of Hormuz into a global crisis—and now he’s looking to China to help bail us out. Think about how that makes us look to the rest of the world.

Trump’s comments last night about “Obama’s Iran deal” were simply wrong. It wasn’t perfect, but it capped uranium enrichment at 3.67%. Since Trump scrapped it, Iran has enriched to 60%—much closer to weapons-grade. And that stockpile still hasn’t been eliminated.

Conventional military superiority doesn’t always guarantee success (think Vietnam, Afghanistan). Russia is learning that in Ukraine, where cheap tech, political will, and innovation are undermining its advantages in scale and firepower. Will the same be true for Iran?

Putin is losing this war. Tried to take all Ukraine—failed. Tried to overthrow Zelenskyy—failed. Tried to demilitarize Ukraine—failed. Tried to stop NATO expansion—failed. I honestly can't believe this war has not ended yet.

I was asked in a Q&A this week about Russia’s post-Putin leadership. Short term? We likely see a Putin 2.0–type successor. Longer term? History suggests the pendulum swings. Watch below, or check out McFaul's World on Substack for more: michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p/recording-...

Embracing Putin while withholding critical support for Ukraine makes us look like a feckless friend and partner. And making allies purchase weapons just to reroute them to Ukraine? That isn’t leadership—it’s immoral.

Russia isn't the reason Trump wants Greenland.

Ukraine is a democracy. It isn’t perfect, and allegations of corruption around senior officials are troubling. But they’re made public precisely because Ukraine's democratic institutions are functioning. You don't see that happen in Russia because those institutions simply don't exist there

Putin has lied his entire career. Yet Witkoff says we can take Russia “at their word” that they’re not sharing intelligence with Iran. Taking the Kremlin at face value while U.S. intelligence reportedly says otherwise is utterly incomprehensible and mind-boggling naive.

Hard deals don’t get done in weeks. Serious diplomacy requires time, direct engagement, and experienced negotiators. We didn’t see that with Iran, and that begs the question of whether these negotiations were ever aimed at reaching an agreement or simply a decoy. W/ @katiecouric.bsky.social
